Rococo Table, C.1730-50
A Rococo Carved Giltwood Console Table
Bavarian, circa 1730-50
Height: 77cm Width: 106cm Depth: 53cm
Provenance:
Private Collection of British Painter Howard Hodgkin
This exuberantly carved console table is a striking example of Rococo design, its bold, asymmetrical ornamentation animated with scrollwork, acanthus and shell motifs.
The surface retains remarkable traces of its original polychrome and gilded decoration - revealed following the recent removal of later overpaint.
The apron centres on a dramatic pierced cartouche, its composition swirling with C-scrolls and foliate forms and flanked by carving that evokes the texture of fish scales. It is topped with a richly figured, bevelled slab of Portosana Marble
